A Special Edition Fitness Band For Kids
Fitness band launches are always exciting, but it’s even better when we’re treated to a special edition.
The Ace 3 Special Edition: Minions band is here to promote healthy habits for children. Not all smartwatches are child-friendly, some offer complicated metrics, and others are focused on messages and connectivity. However, this fitness band for kids is specially designed to be easy to use and fun at the same time.
Thanks to a collaboration with Illumination’s Minions, the smartwatch design reflects the cute characters and offers Minions theming in activity badges, clock faces, etc. New minion-themed accessory bands will launch soon, so keep an eye out if your child is minion-crazy!
The special edition tracker features a clear, rectangular screen and a flexible silicone design. This smartwatch is comfortable to wear day and night with a lightweight feel.
